Iz builds skills, routines, and mindsets to maximize his performance and finally feels like he is answering his calling, that is, until someone from his past enters his life. Faced with companionship, love, and the pitfalls of relationships in captivity, he tries to balance the aspects of his life that now seem at odds. Watch as Iz tries to cope with revelations that he may have focused on the wrong things all along. This digestible and relatable novelette takes you through a life story of confidence, work, relationships, love, and meaning. Thought provoking concepts, deep symbolism, and rapid pacing make this a perfect pick for book clubs and critical thinking exercises.
